"You're right. Given your position, you do have the right to scold my uncle. If we really want to trace the root of the problem, my uncle and my father are indeed the culprits who caused your family to be destroyed. I'm sorry, my attitude was wrong before."

Lu Xiao finally felt a little more comfortable now.

Then he nodded and said, "That's right, this is the attitude you should have. Don't worry, I'm not that petty. I won't implicate innocent people because of what happened back then. The reason I said all this is to tell you that Xueyue City doesn't owe you anything. Since you want to ask Xueyue City for help, you must correct your attitude and let go of the innate arrogance in your bones."

Xiao Se fell silent again. After a long moment, he turned around and knelt before Sikong Changfeng.

"Disciple Xiao Chuhe pays homage to Master. I also ask Master to consider our past friendship and help me return to Tianqi in the future to clear Uncle Wang's grievances!"

After saying this, he kowtowed three times to Sikong Changfeng.

Seeing this, Sikong Changfeng couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he immediately helped Xiao Se up from the ground.

"Good boy, Ruofeng really wasn't wrong about you back then. Don't worry. I can't guarantee anything else, but in this matter, Xueyue City will definitely help you with all its might, no matter the cost!"

Once an agreement is made, nothing can stand in our way!

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled silently.

Then Sikong Changfeng looked at Lu Xiao again: "You won't stop me this time?"

Lu Xiao said with a chuckle, "I had no intention of stopping Third Master. Although I dislike the Prince of Langya, he's your brother after all. You're the City Lord, and you have the final say. Just one word, and I'll be the first to charge."

Sikong Changfeng said angrily, "Now you know I'm the city lord, but you didn't give me any respect just now."

Lu Xiao said, "You are a magnanimous person and will certainly not get angry with me over such a small matter. However, even now, I still feel that you, Third Master, are wrong about one thing."

"What?" Sikong Changfeng asked.

Lu Xiao slowly stood up, his aura becoming increasingly sharp.

Then he turned and faced the distance, while speaking slowly.

"Third Master, you just said that the chessboard has been set up, with the whole world as chess and the four cities as chess pieces. When the time comes, all of us will be chess pieces. I, your disciple, do not agree with that."

"Thinking back to the time when our master, under the pseudonym Li Changsheng, founded the Jixia Academy in Tianqi City, who in the world would dare to use our master as a pawn?"

"What our master was able to do back then, I will be able to do soon too. Right now, my Snow Moon City is indeed just a pawn, but in a year or two, I will have absolute confidence that I can overturn the game of chess. When that happens, my Snow Moon City will no longer be a pawn."

When they heard these words, Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se's eyes widened.

Finally, Xiao Se couldn't help but ask, "You want to be the chess player? You want to be the next Li Changsheng?"

Lu Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "No, I won't be the next Li Changsheng. I will just be myself. I don't want to be a chess piece or a chess player. I just want to be the one who decides who is the chess player."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Se and Sikong Changfeng coughed violently at the same time.

“Cough~cough~cough~”

There's no way, Lu Xiao's ambition is too big.

It was beyond their imagination.

After the shock subsided, Sikong Changfeng immediately said, "Don't brag, brat! I can brag too."

Lu Xiao turned around and smiled, "Third Master, I'm not bragging. If I hadn't just boasted about reaching two major realms yesterday and felt I needed some time to consolidate my cultivation, I could enter the Sword Immortal realm at any time. And with my combat power, once I reach the Sword Immortal realm, I'll be unbeatable until I reach the Divine Wandering Profound Realm. Given my talent, the Divine Wandering Profound Realm is the true beginning of my martial arts journey. At that point, I'll naturally have the confidence to achieve everything I just said."

Lu Xiao was absolutely confident that, with his current rate of improvement, he would achieve trance within a year or two.

At that time, whoever he wants to play chess in the chess game of the world can be the chess player.

Absolute strength can sweep away all obstacles.

After saying this, Lu Xiao turned and looked at Xiao Se.

"You just made the wisest decision of your life. In time, when you look back on today, you will find that my status as a disciple of Snow Moon City is definitely more glorious than the position of the Supreme Ruler."

Although Xiao Se subconsciously wanted to say something retort, for some reason, he couldn't doubt what he said.

Because the confidence in Lu Xiao's tone was so infectious.

At this time, Lu Xiao turned and looked at Sikong Changfeng.

"Third Master, since you've handed over the financial power of our Snow Moon City to Xiao Se, why don't you also arrange a job for this disciple?"

Sikong Changfeng suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What errand do you want?"

Lu Xiao said bluntly, "I feel like we've accepted too many disciples in Xueyue City in recent years, and there are quite a few who are just unqualified and filling the ranks. Therefore, I want to have the power of life and death over all of them. In the coming period, I plan to thoroughly cleanse Xueyue City from top to bottom so we can prepare for future changes in the world."

Since ancient times, there have only been dynasties that lasted for hundreds of years and families that lasted for thousands of years.

And Lu Xiao now wants to do something big.

He wanted Snow Moon City to stand forever and forever in the sky.

If you want this, then Xueyue City will have to raise the threshold for accepting disciples in the future...

Chapter 166: Reform of Xueyue City

The next day, Sikong Changfeng announced to the entire Snow Moon City that he had accepted Xiao Se as his disciple.

At the same time, Lei Wujie was formally brought to Cangshan by Lu Xiao and became Li Hanyi's apprentice.

Unfortunately, because of what happened yesterday, Li Hanyi seemed a little shy and kept avoiding Lu Xiao.

Therefore, Lu Xiao did not see his beloved master's wife this time.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least some time for Li Hanyi to fully adapt to their new relationship.

In all likelihood, Lu Xiao wouldn't be able to see her again in the short term.

With Li Hanyi's cultivation level, hiding from Lu Xiao was a piece of cake.

Lu Xiao was helpless about this.

Fortunately, Sikong Changfeng finally agreed to hand over the power of life and death to him.

He hasn't been idle lately.

Therefore, during the following period, Lu Xiao completely vented his resentment at not being able to see Li Hanyi on the disciples of Xueyue City.

This made life miserable for many disciples.

In order to reform the disciples, Lu Xiao started with the Dengtian Pavilion.

The previous Dengtian Pavilion had been destroyed, so it was natural to build a new one.

The speed of Shaoge's world project far exceeded Lu Xiao's imagination.

With the previous foundation in place, the new Dengtian Pavilion was built in just two months.

The rebuilt Dengtian Pavilion still has fifteen floors.

However, the rules of Yiqi Liusan Woergu in "Chuang Dengtian Pavilion" have changed a little bit.

Lu Xiao did not set up any gatekeepers on the first five floors.

Instead, it combines the Confucian heart-searching techniques of the Dafeng world, the sorcerer system, and the Taoist system's formations to establish the Five Gates of Heart-searching.

Each floor corresponds to the mentality of the person who challenges it.

Those whose mind and nature are deficient will pass the Dharma.

Unless he has the cultivation of a Sword Immortal.

Otherwise, you won't be able to break through the barrier by force.

For those with sufficient character, whether they have cultivation or not will not be affected in their ability to pass the level.

When Xueyue City recruits disciples from now on, character will always be the top priority.

Only those who have passed the first five levels are eligible to join Xueyue City and become Xueyue City's outer city disciples.

Then comes the talent for martial arts.

From the sixth level onwards, the rules are the same as before.

Defeat the gatekeeper to go to the next level.

But Lu Xiao slightly improved the gatekeeper's strength.

Starting from the early stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm, each time a level is reached, the gatekeeper's cultivation level will be raised by a small realm.

In other words, the sixth level is the early stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm.

The seventh level is the middle stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm.

The eighth level is the late stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm.

The ninth level is the peak of the Vajra Mortal Realm.

When you reach the thirteenth level, you will have to face a strong person at the peak of the Free Earth Realm.

As for the fourteenth and fifteenth floors.

They are the strong ones in Jiuxiao Realm and Fuyao Realm.

Only after passing the fifteenth level can one be qualified to ask about Snow Moon City.

At the same time, those who have passed the ninth level can become disciples of the inner city of Xueyue City.

Those who have passed the thirteenth level can be considered the core disciples of Snow Moon City.

Those who have passed the fourteenth or fifteenth level can become elders of Snow Moon City.

Disciples of different ranks naturally receive different treatments.

Of course, this is all afterthought.

To become a direct disciple of a few city lords, it depends on fate.

Furthermore, the rules Lu Xiao established weren't just for those who wanted to become disciples of Xueyue City in the future.

This also includes all the current disciples of Xueyue City.

In other words, all the disciples of Xueyue City now have to go through the Dengtian Pavilion.

If you can't pass the first five levels, you will be expelled from Snow Moon City.

No matter how great your background is, no matter how amazing your martial arts talent is, it is always the same.

Furthermore, in order to convince the crowd, even Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo, and the newcomers Xiao Se and Lei Wujie had to re-enter the Ascension Pavilion.

Including Lu Xiao himself.

Of course, Lu Xiao has confidence in them.

They will definitely be able to pass the first five levels of the heart test.

Even so, after Lu Xiao announced this, it still attracted opposition and protests from many disciples.

In response, Lu Xiao directly suppressed them with his tyranny, using force to subdue them.

During this period, he had beaten up many of the disciples from Snow Moon City.

In the end, many disciples saw that resistance was futile and could only endure it silently.

However, Lu Eryao and Qi Jiuliu also knew that many of them came from major martial arts families and sects, and would definitely not give up easily.

In all likelihood, before long, the various forces behind these disciples will come knocking on their door.

But Lin Er and Lu Xiao were not afraid at all.

Time flies, and it's two months later.

It is late spring now.

Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom in Snow Moon City. This season of the year is when the colors of the flowers are at their most vibrant among the four unique features of Snow Moon City, namely, Wind, Splendor, Snow and Moon.

At night, inside the upper gate of Xueyue City.

Sikong Changfeng looked at the letter signed by all the disciples, his face full of headache.

Then he looked at Lu Xiao who was sitting next to him with a face full of resentment.

"Look at the good things you've done. The atmosphere in Xueyue City used to be so good, but you insisted on reforming it. Even now, the changes aren't complete, and the disciples are already complaining about you."

Lu Xiao, holding his wine flask, said nonchalantly.

"Those who are resentful are simply those who relied on connections to gain admission into our Snow Moon City through the backdoor. In my opinion, it would be better to dismiss such disciples immediately. This would save us from having to spend time testing them once the Ascension Pavilion is fully built in a few days."

Sikong Changfeng said, "That's not the way to say it. I admit that there are indeed many people with connections here, but you also have to consider the many forces behind them. The current status of our Xueyue City in the martial arts world is inseparable from them. After all, they are all our backers."

Lu Xiao said with disdain, "Third Master, how can you be so smart and yet not see this clearly? It's not because of their support that Xueyue City has achieved its current status, but because of our current status that they support us. This support is not solid; they could turn against us at any time for their own benefit."

"I understand this, but you can't reject our allies just because of this, right?" Sikong Changfeng asked.
